Self-contained seizure monitor and method
First Claim
1. A self-contained device configured to monitor a subject for an electroencephalographic pathology, the device comprising:
- a) at least two electroencephalographic electrodes spaced apart from one another, and configured to sense brain activity and generate a signal;
b) a signal processing means electrically coupled to the electrodes for processing the signal;
c) an indicator electrically coupled to the signal processing means and configured to indicate a physiological condition;
d) a power source electrically coupled to the electrodes, the signal processing means, and the indicator; and
e) means for mounting the device on the subject.

Abstract
A self-contained seizure monitor device to monitor a subject for an electrographic seizure includes a pad with an adhesive layer to adhere to a subject'"'"'s skin. At least two electroencephalographic electrodes are carried by the pad and spaced apart from one another to sense brain activity and generate a signal. A signal processing means is carried by the pad and electrically coupled to the electrodes to process the signal. An indicator is carried by the pad and electrically coupled to the signal processing means to indicate seizure information. A power source is carried by the pad and electrically coupled to the electrodes, the signal processing means, and the indicator.

20. A method for monitoring a subject for an electrographic seizure, comprising:
-
mounting a self-contained seizure monitor device on the subject, and disposing electroencephalographic electrodes against skin of the subject; causing the monitor device to power from a power source of the self-contained monitor device, and causing the electrodes to sense brain activity and generate a signal, and causing an EEG signal processor electrically coupled to the electrodes to process the signal; and perceiving an alarm or a physiological condition index from an indicator electrically coupled to the signal processor. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
